Shipbuilding gantry crane is an essential and highly specialized piece of equipment designed specifically for the complex and demanding tasks within the shipbuilding industry. It plays a crucial role in the fragmented transport, end - to - end joint, and turning operation of large ship hulls.

In the process of fragmented transport, ship hulls are often constructed in sections in a shipyard's manufacturing facilities. These sections, which can be massive in size and weight, need to be moved precisely around the yard. The shipbuilding gantry crane, with its robust lifting capacity and large - span structure, is well - equipped for this task. It carefully hoists each hull section using specially designed lifting slings or clamps that are engineered to evenly distribute the weight and ensure a secure hold. The crane then navigates through the busy shipyard environment, avoiding other ongoing construction activities, to transport the hull sections to the assembly area. This fragmented transport is vital as it allows for more efficient construction, enabling different parts of the ship to be fabricated simultaneously in various areas of the yard.

Application Scenarios in Shipbuilding & Marine Industry

1. Hull Block Assembly

• Lifts and positions large steel plates, prefabricated hull sections, and keel blocks for welding and assembly.

• Ensures alignment accuracy during modular ship construction.

• Engine & Propulsion System Installation

• Handles heavy ship engines, gearboxes, and propeller systems with controlled lowering into engine rooms.

• Deck Equipment Mounting

• Installs cranes, radar masts, lifeboats, and other deck machinery safely at elevated heights.

• Dry Dock & Repair Operations

• Removes damaged ship parts (propellers, rudders, shafts) during maintenance in dry docks.

• Fabrication Workshop Logistics

• Transports pre-assembled pipe systems, electrical panels, and bulkhead modules across the production floor.

• Offshore Structure Construction

• Used in building offshore platforms, floating docks, and LNG carrier components.

• Port & Shipyard Material Handling

• Loads/unloads steel coils, containers, and raw materials for shipbuilding supply chains.
